The Kent town prides itself on lampooning a different celebrity hate-figure every year -- with recent send-ups including Russian premier Vladimir Putin and disgraced FIFA boss Sepp Blatter.

This year the townsfolk decided The Don was "the biggest villain of 2016".

Organisers said Mr Trump was the overwhelming choice for this year's celebrity effigy.
Spokeswoman Jeni Fox said: "We were spoilt for choice in terms of potential contenders with a shortlist of around 10 potential runners but the people's choice stole the vote.

"We are literally helping Trump to live out his own catchphrase 'burn it down' by exploding the 11m effigy as the opening act for our fireworks display.

"It only seemed fair that Hillary Clinton took some of the limelight, and we are sure the presidential candidates will be pleased to see they are both featured."
